Thanks for all your feedback and for telling your friends!

HA! Yes to everything on here. Someone should start the lady head wearing a dead lady as a hat trend. See what happens..

So I'm pretty much a packrat. And I have 1000s of hours of VHS video in various rubber maids around my house. Some commercially produced stuff. Some literally one of a kind transfers of old 8mm films that were left to me when older friends passed away.
I found out last night that my "dazzle" video hub doesn't work with a mac, so I put an order in for a Apple compatible device. Soon I'll be transcoding old films to digital.
I'll try to remember to post links to anything I put on youtube here, though some of the footage (Cliff Raven tattooing naked) may not be everyone's cup of tea so I'll use discretion.
First up is some NON naked Raven, some classic Realistic Tattoo stuff with Hardy, Irons, Salmon, Zulueta and the gang. Just have to wait for the hardware to arrive!

You had Petri on THE EDGE OF HIS SEAT! Hahaa great story though dude.

Dude, cmon those stars represent my cousin's girlfriend's struggle with strength. And also honor.

My grandmother was one of those stars, asshole! That's why it's super important that you put them on my ribs under the opening paragraph of my favorite Twilight novel.

He's the NICEST dude, too. Made the experience, which was gutwrenchingly awful, as pleasant as he could.

i met my girlfriend/future wife in brooklyn 2007. i was doing a guest spot at saved tattoo, she was my final appointment on my last day there...we immediately knew we'd be together. after visiting her every month for 9 months, she moved here form new jersey in 2008. i owe EVERYTHING in my life to tattooing.

I give a $50 deposit -- HIYOOOOOOOOO. I actually got together with my wife-to-be because of our mutual tattooer friend, Dave Wallin.

I was tattooing at a busy shop outside of Ft Benning Ga.
Don was stationed there working as a Ranger instructor. He got tattooed at the shop and soon became my client.within a few months he began working there also learning how to tattoo and working the 10-3am shift. We were friends , he had a girlfriend and I was married to another tattooer at the shop and had a little boy.
Don became a close family friend, a trusted coworker and I know that we really bonded during the hours spent tattooing him.
I guess we were friends and coworkers for about 2 years or so when I became single again.
I can't say that we had a wild romance but just that we were such good friends and we really liked and respected one another.
Our first date , so to speak, was in June - and we were married at the end of November.
For the next 10 years we tattooed wherever Don was stationed ( he worked in the army and tattooed till he retired from the military, almost 10 years ago) We also went on to have 5 more children.
this November we'll be married 20 years.

Goddamn, Filip Leu.. those maple leaves! On a similar note to Perez's post, I really love Sid's tattoos. Would really like to get something from him at some point -- bigger the better!

Seriously, just take the year to save up, come to New York, Bailey, done.

Ok that's weird. If after two weeks it still looks brand new something aint right.. Ask a dermatologist?

It's funny how when you pick just one basic design the possibilities are endless. So since we're talking about panther tattoos, tiger tattoos, etc., what do you like in a lady head? And who do you like for a lady head? Contemporary tattooer or past tattooer?
I'm not a tattooer myself, but I like dark eyes/eyelashes and the heavy makeup/color thing. And lots of dark hair.
Bailey Robinson does some really great ones..

On the other end of the spectrum I also like Todd Noble's softer ladies:

Man, whenever I'm able to move into a house or an apartment big enough, a heavy bag will definitely be installed.
